Hi. I can’t seem to find the picture opacity slider bar under the Properties: Objects side bar. Does anyone know where this option has moved? I’m running Rhino for Mac on an M1 chip.
You can find that in your materials tab.
Welcome Chris,
With your picture selected, you can find Object transparency under the Materials tab, like @jason already mentioned above.
You need to have the picture selected.
Hm, no idea! I’m on an M1 Mac, too. Which version of Rhino are you using?
How have you brought the image into Rhino?
I’m using the most up to date version. I definitely thought that was my issue at first but it seems I’m up to date. I brought the image in via the “picture” command (I typed it into the command line like I always do). I’ve used this opacity feature before which is kinda freaking me out. No idea why it doesn’t show up now.
Hi Chris -
Please run the Rhino SystemInfo command and copy-paste the result here.

Thanks Wim. Here it is:

Hi Chris - just making sure -why is gumball off to one side? Did you move it there?
-Pascal
I was wondering that myself. I have no idea why the gumball is way off to the side.
My Guess Of The Moment is that the picture is grouped with some other object(s). When you click on it, what does the command line /command history say is selected?
-Pascal
It’s called an “open surface”. I tried ungrouping it but that didn’t really do anything.
Hi Chris - do we have your file? If not can you post it here (public) or send to tech@mcneel.com to my attention with a lonk back here in your comments?
-Pascal
Thanks so much for helping with this. My solution involved me shutting Rhino down and re-opening it. We are now able to change the opacity of pictures.
